FitSW Software

FitSW is a cloud-based personal training solution designed for health and fitness trainers. It allows them connect and collaborate with clients. Key features include a workout builder, appointment scheduling, nutrition management and diet planning.

Trainers can create workout schedules and share with clients via email or physical printouts. Workout plans can include exercises and instructions such as sets, reps, rest time and weight. The solution allows clients to send appointment requests to trainers which are added to trainer calendars once approved.

FitSW provides trainers with graphs to track client progress. Users can track client body fat percentage, weight, waist size and other information. The solution also allows users to create meal plans, and clients can record their food intake. FitSW can be accessed through native mobile apps available for Android and iOS devices.

FitSW is one of the best fitness apps on the market for trainers!

Pros

Easy to use for both the trainer and the client. Easy to add and modify workouts and to add demos.

Cons

Wish there was a better way to record changes in weight and reps for multiple sets. Also, wish there was an automatic way to track and chart specific exercises over time as clients improve.

Thank you for the feedback! You can now record changes in weight and reps for multiple sets using our new "Results" button. Then you can enter in the workout results for every weight and rep.

The experience has been great!

Pros

I love using this app to plan and track workouts. When I first started, my trainer loaded workouts that she had designed for me. All I had to do was open the app at the gym and follow the program. Now, I can copy and modify those workouts as I progress.

Cons

The only minor dislike I have is that you can't see the entire notes field when viewing a workout.

Easy to get homework from my trainer, easy to mark complete, easy to view video demos

Cons

A bit clunky to move around from one thing to another (exercise to timer and back, etc.), no ability to customize, would like ability to save exercises and put together my own work out plans as well as ones assigned by trainer.

Thank you for the feedback! We have built the timer right into the exercise page now so that you don't even have to leave that page. We also added features where you can customize your own workout plans with your own exercises with your own demo. If you need any help using these features let us know at admin@fitsw.com.

I like that my trainer can give me assignments and keep me accountable

Cons

I want to repeat a workout I’ve completed and can’t figure out how to copy. I think my trainer can, but I haven’t figured out how to do so.

Been amazing. I used to write fitness program from my desk top on excel and email to my clients. But now I can just update the workout I like my clients to perform. This increases adherence and compliance. Keeps my clients motivated when I drop them a message from the app after they completed the workout. They know that I am always keeping tab of their.

Pros

I could easily select exercises from the library for my pt session on the go!

Have only been using for a short time, but does what I need and does it well

I've been able to keep workouts all in one location (including my own), assessments, etc. I've had only the 1 issue I mentioned above and plan to continue using it.

Pros

Ability to easily list clients and create workouts. Took literally 2 seconds to figure out how to super-set exercises. Haven't paid for anything yet, but it works just fine for how I've been using it.

Cons

Haven't really found anything I disliked yet. One bug I've found is that, logged in as a client, you cannot add food to a diet (or create a diet). I've emailed the admins about it.

Pleasurable. It took virtually no effort to get my clients up to speed on their end of the app and see them off ans running.

Pros

Simply put, the app is very intuitive. Building a workout is fast and easy. I haven't gone to the pay plan yet but am excited about using the online forms to simplify documentation for my clients.

Cons

The only negative was one of my questions took a bit of time to get the answer. Had I looked closer I would have seen the answer was at the bottom of the page in question. I'd suggest a better tutorial for people like me that overlook these things.

Pros

It was easy to use and post workouts, edit workouts and make notes during the workout

Cons

The edit feature was a little confusing. During the workout I wanted to make a note to my instructor that i used a different weight and it was cumbersome to get to the note section and I actually just did it in the time memo part

Thank you for the feedback! We have recently added a new feature that allows you to enter in results that occurred during the workout without having to edit the workout. Just click the "Results" button and you can enter the weights you used, reps you did or whatever you would like. Your trainer can then view this.

Pros

I cannot usually remember poses, I have terrible spatial memory. I'm so happy to have an app that allows me to quickly see a quick demonstration of a move to jog my memory.

Cons

I do most workouts more than once. But if I do a workout once, it moves over into the "Complete" section. It'd be great if I could have it pop back into the "Open" section every Tuesday/Thursday at 7am, or whenever I want, as an ongoing exercise.

Thank you for your feedback! You can move completed workouts back over to open by just swiping left. We have also now added a "Not Met" option in addition to "Completed" and "Open". Let us know if you have any other feedback or feature requests.
